Boatman Adds More Chips During First Hands
Barny Boatman limped in from the small blind with 6?5? and David Kaufmann checked his 10?4? in the big blind. Boatman continued for 300,000 chips on the 7?4?6? flop and Kaufmann called.
The J? turn saw Boatman put 800,000 chips more into the middle, forcing a fold from Kaufmann's bottom pair.
The next hand, Boatman raised 6?2? to 600,000 on the button and Aleksejs Ponakovs defended A?4? in the big blind. Boatman put forth a continuation-bet of 500,000, which Ponakovs check-raised to 1,500,000. Boatman quickly folded and granted the pot to Ponakovs.
One hand later, Ponakovs limped in from the small blind with 10?4? and Boatman checked his Q?4? in the big blind. Ponakovs flopped top pair on 10?3?7? and bet 400,000 chips. Boatman flicked in a call and the 5? turn emerged from the deck.
Ponakovs checked to Boatman, who made a bet of 800,000 with his turned flush draw. Ponakovs called to see the 9? river complete the board. Ponakovs checked once more, after which Boatman put in 1,750,000 with his rivered flush.
Ponakovs used four time bank cards before finding a call, but his top pair was heavily outclassed by Boatman's flush and he tossed his cards into the muck.
